The National Association of Nigerian Students has said its
members would embark on a mass protest should the Academic Staff Union of
Universities resume its just suspended strike.
NANS President, Sunday Asefon, stated this in an interview with The PUNCH on Thursday.
He said it is embarrassing and ridiculous for ASUU to
threaten fresh strike after wasting the academic time of Nigerian students for
nine months.
Asefon said, “It is a slap on us for ASUU to say they are
calling off the strike conditionally. If they call it off conditionally, we
will also put on hold our plan to engage the Federal Government and ASUU on
mass action. But if they also resume their strike, we will also go to the
streets, if that is the only language they understand, we will speak it to
them.”
ASUU National President,
Biodun Ogunyemi, on Wednesday in Abuja, “conditionally” suspended its
nine-month-long strike after a lot of foot-dragging in negotiations by the
Federal Government and the lecturers.
Ogunyemi, who said the suspension of the strike takes effect
from Thursday, December 24th, 2020, had also warned that the union would resume
the industrial action without notice if the government fails in meeting its
part of the agreement.
